Banglebangle.co.uk goes live!
In the most entrepreneurial thing I have ever done in my 35 years on this planet I have imported thousands of bangles and am starting an online jewellery business with my girlfriend Rachel. And before you ask starting an online jewellery business is not the first step on the slippery slope to life as a cross dressing web developer.
The site is called “bangle bangle” and can be found at http://www.banglebangle.co.uk
How can you help?
- Link to my site – to get a better ranking on search engines like Google I need to get other sites link to http://www.banglebangle.co.uk. The more incoming links I have the more seriously the search engines will take me and the better my ranking will be. So if you have a blog or a Facebook/Ringo/Bebo page or even your company’s website then please ad a link to http://www.banglebangle.co.uk. Any links you add would be greatly appreciated.
- Tell your friends – Sites like this can generate a lot of traffic from word of mouth. If you have friends who like bangles forward this email to them. Or even if you have friends who hate bangles but who might know someone who doesn’t hate bangles forward this email to them. And tell them to forward it on to their friends!
- Tell your friends to link their blogs to me ;) – incoming links are everything for search engines and everyone who links to the site will be helping out.
- Make suggestions – I am new at this and any ideas or suggestions you have would also be appreciated.
It has take months of work to get this far and there is still loads to do so keep popping back every now and then to see how it is going.
PS don’t forget to LINK TO MY SITE!

Google checkout is pretty cool. It’s awesome how it can enable such a simple store like that to function with little back-end order processing effort.
Suggestion:
* Make a “Support Bangle Bangle” page and provide a variety of banners that people can use to link to you.
* Register your products in Froogle.
* Meta tags are very important for search engines too. I see you’ve got some info in them already.
* Putting the title of each product in the page title tag helps SEO too.
Keep us posted on when you get your first and tenth and hundredth order. :-)

It has been proven that a sign “trustworthy Internet shop” (I don’t know how this is called in English, but in the Netherlands we have a vignette stating that your shop is a safe place to shop) increases sales tremendously.
Mind you, for this to work, the sign has to be an the TOP of the page.
Good luck!
